Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Ever since Hua Qiangu learned that the Spirit Spring Pill could provide Luo Shiyi with such miraculous assistance in his cultivation, she became even more interested in the treasures within the Spirit Spring space. That day, she secretly slipped into that magical space again.

Upon entering the space, Hua Qiangu felt an irresistible urge upon seeing the crystal-clear, mysteriously glowing spiritual spring. She thought, since this spring water could be used to make such potent medicine, drinking it directly might give her cultivation a significant leap forward! However, she hesitated. After all, the pills she gave Luo Shiyi had already caused quite a stir. Drinking this spring water directly would have such extraordinary effects; if others noticed anything amiss, it would be disastrous!

"Oh dear, what should we do?" Hua Qiangu frowned, pacing back and forth by the spiritual spring, muttering to herself, "This spiritual spring water is definitely a good thing, we can't just waste it like this, and we can't just not use it because it's so powerful, we have to think of a way!"

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she slapped her forehead, and exclaimed, "That's it! I can dilute it, that way I can enjoy the benefits of the spiritual spring water without being too conspicuous! Haha, I'm so clever!"

Without hesitation, Hua Qiangu found a clean container in her spatial storage, carefully scooped out some spiritual spring water, and then added a considerable amount of ordinary water, diluting the spiritual spring water several times over. She looked at the diluted spiritual spring water; although its radiance seemed less dazzling, it still exuded a mysterious aura.

"Hmm, this should be fine. Let's try it first!" Hua Qiangu picked up the container, closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and drank the diluted spiritual spring water.

In an instant, a cool sensation mixed with a hint of warmth shot down her throat and quickly spread throughout her body. Hua Qiangu felt as if this power had gently smoothed out all the meridians in her body, making previously blocked areas flow smoothly again, and her spiritual energy seemed to become more active!

"Wow! This diluted spiritual spring water is amazing! I feel so much more energetic and my spiritual power is much stronger! Haha!" Hua Qiangu jumped up and down excitedly, feeling incredibly happy.

She stayed in the space for a while, feeling the changes in her body. After confirming that there were no adverse reactions, she decided to go out and find Master Bai Zihua. She thought that now that she was in such a good condition, it was the perfect time to learn the sword flight technique!

After Hua Qiangu emerged from the spatial dimension, she inquired about Bai Zihua's whereabouts. After asking several senior brothers and sisters, she learned that Bai Zihua was in seclusion cultivating in a quiet place on the back mountain, but it seemed that he was about to finish his seclusion.

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu hurriedly ran towards the back mountain. Along the way, she thought to herself with delight, "Hehe, when I see Master later, I must beg him to teach me the art of sword flight! If I learn it, it will be much more convenient for me on Changliu Mountain, and I can show those who look down on me that I, Hua Qiangu, am not someone to be trifled with! Humph!"

When she arrived at the back mountain, panting, she indeed saw Bai Zihua slowly emerging from his secluded cave. Bai Zihua was dressed in white, exuding an otherworldly air, with a cold and aloof expression, like a celestial being untouched by worldly affairs.

Hua Qiangu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said loudly, "Master, you've emerged from seclusion! Disciple Hua Qiangu greets Master!"

Bai Zihua nodded slightly, looked at Hua Qiangu, and said, "Hmm, Xiao Gu, why did you rush here so quickly? Is there something you need?"

Hua Qiangu raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Bai Zihua, her face full of anticipation, and said, "Master, I have a favor to ask of you! You see, I've been here at Changliu Mountain for a while now, but I still don't know how to fly on a sword. Could you teach me? Please, Master!"

Bai Zihua frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Gu, the sword flight technique is not easy. It requires a solid foundation in cultivation and precise control of spiritual power. Your cultivation is still shallow, so I'm afraid you will find it difficult to master."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu became anxious and quickly said, "Master, don't underestimate me! I've been diligently cultivating lately, and... I just had a small stroke of luck, and I feel much better now, with much more spiritual energy than before! Please teach me, I'll definitely learn well! Please, Master!"

Bai Zihua looked at Hua Qiangu's eager and determined appearance, and his heart stirred slightly, but he still said, "Even so, the sword flight technique cannot be rushed and must be mastered step by step. However, since you are so eager to learn, then I will first take a look at your control of spiritual power."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu was overjoyed and exclaimed, "That's wonderful! Thank you, Master! You're so kind, Master!"

Bai Zihua reached out and gently placed his hand on Hua Qiangu's wrist. He closed his eyes and began to examine the spiritual energy within her body. Upon examination, Bai Zihua was slightly surprised. He clearly felt that the spiritual energy within Hua Qiangu's body was much more abundant and active than before, and the circulation of spiritual energy was also smoother and more orderly.

Bai Zihua opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them, and looked at Hua Qiangu, asking, "Little Bone, what exactly was the little opportunity you mentioned earlier? How could it cause such a great change in your primordial power?"

Hua Qiangu's heart skipped a beat, thinking to herself, "Oh dear, what should I do? I can't let Master know about the Spirit Spring!" Her eyes darted around, and she quickly said, "Master, it's just... it's just that when I was cultivating in a secluded place just now, I suddenly felt the surrounding spiritual energy gathering towards me. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt incredibly energetic, and my spiritual energy became stronger. Maybe I'm just lucky, hehe!"

Bai Zihua looked at Hua Qiangu's somewhat guilty appearance and knew that she was definitely not telling the truth, but he did not delve into it. He simply said, "Hmph, don't think that your master doesn't know that you are hiding something. But since you are unwilling, then so be it. But you must remember that when you are cultivating in Changliu Mountain, you must not take any crooked paths, otherwise your master will not let you off easily."

Hua Qiangu nodded hurriedly, saying, "Yes, Master, I understand! I will definitely cultivate diligently and would never dare to take any crooked paths! Please rest assured!"

Bai Zihua nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, then I'll teach you some basic techniques of sword flight. Remember them well."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu was so excited she almost jumped up, exclaiming, "Wow! That's wonderful! Thank you, Master! You're amazing! I'll definitely study hard!"

Bai Zihua patiently began explaining the basics of sword flight to Hua Qiangu, such as how to establish a connection with the sword, and how to control the sword's direction and speed using spiritual power. Hua Qiangu listened intently, her eyes fixed on Bai Zihua, afraid of missing a single word.

"Little Bone, try to slowly channel your spiritual power into this sword as I instructed, and feel the connection with it." Bai Zihua said, handing Hua Qiangu an ordinary longsword.

Hua Qiangu took the sword, took a deep breath, and, following Bai Zihua's instructions, began to slowly channel her spiritual energy into the sword. At first, she was a bit flustered; either she channeled too much spiritual energy, causing the sword to shake violently, or she channeled too little, unable to feel the connection between herself and the sword.

"Oh dear, this is so difficult! Master, am I too stupid?" Hua Qiangu said somewhat dejectedly.

Bai Zihua shook his head and said, "Xiao Gu, don't be anxious. It's inevitable that there will be some setbacks when you try it for the first time. Just calm down and feel it slowly."

Under Bai Zihua's patient guidance, Hua Qiangu finally succeeded in injecting spiritual power into the sword after many attempts, and felt a faint connection with the sword.

"Wow! Master, I did it! I can feel the sword! Haha!" Hua Qiangu shouted excitedly.

Bai Zihua nodded slightly and said, "Yes, not bad. This is just the first step. You need to continue to work hard and master the skills of controlling the sword."

Just then, Ni Mantian walked over from not far away. Seeing Bai Zihua teaching Hua Qiangu sword flight, she was filled with jealousy. She snorted coldly, stepped forward, and said sarcastically, "Oh, what's going on here? Hua Qiangu, do you really think you can learn sword flight? Don't you know your place? You think you're worthy of being taught by your master personally? Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu immediately flew into a rage. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Ni Mantian, stop being so sarcastic! I'm learning skills from my master, what's it to you? If you're jealous, just say so, don't make snide remarks! Humph!"

Ni Mantian was even angrier after Hua Qiangu's retort. She glared at her and said, "Hmph, I'm jealous of you? You don't even know your own limitations. With your aptitude, you want to learn sword flight? Dream on!"

Bai Zihua frowned and said seriously, "Ni Mantian, don't be rude! Xiao Gu is your junior sister. We are all from the same sect and should help each other, not argue here."

Upon hearing this, Ni Mantian quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, Master, this disciple knows her mistake." But in her heart, she thought, "Hmph, Hua Qiangu, just you wait, I'll make sure you can't stay on Changliu Mountain any longer!"

Seeing Ni Mantian's unwilling expression, Hua Qiangu secretly vowed in her heart: "Hmph, Ni Mantian, just you wait, I will definitely master the sword flight technique and make you look at me with new eyes. Then let's see if you still dare to treat me like this!"

Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Bai Zihua said to Hua Qiangu, "Xiao Gu, don't be influenced by what others say. Continue to focus on your studies."

Hua Qiangu replied, "Yes, Master, I will!"

Then, she focused intently on learning the sword flight technique from Bai Zihua, while Ni Mantian watched coldly from the side, her jealousy burning ever brighter, and a new storm seemed to be quietly brewing in Changliu Mountain.

Interesting stories about Changliu Mountain

During her time on Changliu Mountain, Hua Qiangu was not only busy with cultivation and dealing with troublesome matters, but also had many interesting little episodes.

Once, Hua Qiangu and her senior brother Huo Xi went to the forest behind the mountain to find a rare herb, which they said would be helpful for cultivation. The two searched here and there in the forest, and Huo Xi, that guy, got his clothes caught on a branch and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Ouch, Xiao Gu, come save me! This branch is going to tear my clothes!" Hua Qiangu looked at his disheveled appearance and laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, saying between laughs, "Senior brother Huo Xi, you're so careless, haha!"

Having finally found the herb, Huo Xi was about to reach out and pick it when suddenly a small rabbit darted out of the nearby bushes, startling him so much that he jumped three feet high, dropping his tools and shouting, "Oh dear, what was that! You scared me to death!" Hua Qiangu couldn't help but laugh again, saying, "Senior Brother Huo Xi, you're such a scaredy-cat! It's just a little rabbit, why are you so frightened!"

Another time, Hua Qiangu went to the stream to wash clothes with her senior sister Wu Qingluo. While washing, Wu Qingluo told Hua Qiangu stories of Changliu Mountain's past, telling them with great vividness. Hua Qiangu was so engrossed that she almost lost the clothes in her hands to the water. When she realized what was happening, she quickly tried to retrieve the clothes, but slipped and fell into the stream with a "plop," splashing a large amount of water. Seeing this, Wu Qingluo quickly reached out to pull her out, and the two of them frantically tried to pull each other out from the stream, ending up soaked but laughing heartily.

One day, Hua Qiangu was practicing magic in the training grounds of Changliu Mountain. She tried to condense a small ball of light with her spiritual power, but she couldn't get it right. The ball of light kept changing size, sometimes large and sometimes small, and it would flicker and then disappear. Her junior brothers were snickering nearby. Hua Qiangu was a little embarrassed and was thinking about how to improve when suddenly a mischievous little bird flew over and crashed directly into the ball of light. With a "bang," the bird was sent flying, flapping its wings and chirping in the air, as if saying, "Ouch, what is that? It hurts my head!" Hua Qiangu and her junior brothers couldn't help but burst into laughter.

These little anecdotes, though somewhat out of place in the serious life of cultivation on Changliu Mountain, brought Hua Qiangu a lot of joy, allowing her to find some warmth and fun in this unfamiliar and challenging place.
